Tenant moved in her boyfriend and I want him out.

[Ben Morris]

I Rented a house to a lady with three kids back in August. Only she was screened, therefore only her name is on the lease. In September she moved her boyfriend into the house. I didn't have a problem with it until they were unable to provide proof of employment for him. I did get a copy of his license, which has the rented house as the address and issue date in September. So now I want him out. FYI the house is in PA. 

Thoughts?

 What you are doing is worrying about staying dry after you've already jumped in the pool.

Prior to putting people into our properties we do our best job at screening them. We do this to mitigate the risk of loosing money. We loose money when the rent doesn't get paid.

Where you are at it doesn't make sense to go to war with these people. What is that going to solve? They are already in the property paying rent. You don't want him in there, why? Because you feel like he'd be someone who doesn't pay rent. Understandable position but by forcing him & his paying G/F out now all you are doing is taking your current income stream & tossing it away. Nothing worse than guaranteeing you loose money.
